not my ipod, a coworker's. i have no intention of buying such a
player. i like CDs. i like the physicality of them. i like
artwork. and although i listen to CDs on my G4 at work, there's a
difference between itunes and a home stereo or discman.
mp3's are a nice way to get music out there and get heard, but
ultimately i want to both buy and release music on a more substantial
format, both sonically and physically.
i'd prefer the future to be DVD audio or (hopefully
backwards-compatible) higher-bitrate CDs than reducing songs in
quality and importance to names on a file list.
